It’s a fact, printed stained
Burnt deep into my brain
It keeps turning in my mind
Like nuts and bolds so long
Hold that pose, get the feel,
Seal the deal one twist on tie
I’m closing up a bag of air
And wire – Yes no –
It’s a fact, printed stained
I’m just singing in the rain
On a partly cloudy afternoon
You’ve been called today
I just sigh & cry hyrray
My friends & family
P.S. – Yes no_

Dash After Dash

On a Thursday afternoon
I can see the sun and moon
Shadows strobe at 55
Dash after dash
Dash after line
Telephone poles keep the time
A rhythmic metronome of kinds
And might just last a lifetime long
Where hours can come and go
Where hours can come and go
On and On
I saw the white sands desert in the night
We played boxes like drums in the var
On a Thursday Afternoon
When the wind begins to swoon
A see of birds like waves in flight
Dash after dash ‘til out of sight
And I saw the white sands desert in the night
We played boxes like drums in the car
We drove seven thousand miles so far
We played boxes like drums in the car

Forget your court date
Lock me away
The world waits
Cuffs cut deep to the bones
While trying to sleep
While trying to sleep
I have these hands
Can’t turn back time
An time can be a game
And we’re losing this one
But I’m still saying
Yea Yeah
You stole the tapes and a flashlight
On a summer night
From my car
I found something in a lightning storm
With heavy rain and thunder the mountains torn
When everything seems to wash a way
I walk here with two feet on the ground
Yea Yeah
Lock me up officer
One mistake I made
Yea yeah
Take me away
I said this to myself
Closed the door on myself
Yea Yeah
Take me away

No More Long Years
03:04

Drop what you’re doing and worry about
what you’re doing while stressing out about what you’ve done.
Embarrassment it reads your face
and things you love leave a bad taste
When waking up at three.
Yesterday was like a stone
Yesterday this felt like home
But not today
mixed around and blended well
? so I can’t tell
Which way is down
In my life time/no long years
(line here that I can’t make out?)
Left and right split at the heart ? ? ?
Life isn’t how i pictured it
How one grew up and handled it
When I was a child
and now it’s starting to make sense
No more long years now
You said this is your nightmare/and no more long years now
In my life time no more long years now

Fifteen year old picking out the same old clothes
While these posters are wallpaper for those with the same goal
She’ll try out on the day after today and she dreams of the 5K
The calendar was set in stone now cracked in half
Dwyer said you look talented to me
Join the team and get up at five with babes in briefs
Candy bar metal trophies and stressful days
But still she dreams of 5k
Dwyer asked why did you give up on me?
I’ve got these dreams and no idea what I want to be
Different place fast turnover has gone away
But still she dreams of 5k
The calendar was set in stone
Now cracked in half but not unknown
Records broke yesterday
If only there was still a 5k

Frank, she grew up in a house made of porcelain crystal glass
Her brother left a year ago
Sister one and a half
Mother is a name at best. Stepfather was a mess - the ingredients were wrong. But dad you
saved this song so now I say hey dad I learned this all from you.
I must have won this time. Working late and losing lunch.
While waking up, and standing out
She never knew this all tasted so good when it was hot.
And everything that she saw on TV.
And everything that she wanted to be. And he abandoned his dreams.
So she could go to sleep and own.
Hey dad I tried so hard I learned this all from you.
I must have won this time.

Someday

Someday, they say time can tell
but can time say? falling out from under me and hours turn into weeks, like concrete, sheets
falling out from under me.
I might grow old someday but I won’t turn pale & grey, dim down the lights and when my body
aches, my bones won’t break falling out from under me

Light Speed

I play centerfield for the home team
You might not see me from the nosebleeds
I’ll stand up on top the dugout and shout out
And wave my arms and hold my tongue
Cause it’s not me
I wonder how fast is light speed
Would life itself stay or follow me
And coach look at me now
Look at me now
And team look at me now
Look at me now
Look at me now
Foul ball deep in centerfield 9th inning
2 outs look at me now
Look at me now
Look at me now
Look at me now
I wonder how fast is light speed
Would life itself stay or follow me
if I caught that one would it be the same
It’s a good thing this is just a game
